Dammed if I do dammed if I don't. Ok if I go pump> 120rad> gpu> cpu> 360rad>res mounted under or where two fans are mounted at the top of the case. How about that? It puts the res at the top where air should go anyways and might make it easier to drain if I turn case upside down. And maybe to simplify it further I could remove the 120rad.

Yeah the flash on my camera washed out the cpu block a lot but you can see the loop going from the bottom rad to the res to the pump to the front rad. Performance wise it's doing quite well. But once I get enough time to disassemble this mess I'll see if I can attach the res mount under the top fans and decide whether I really need the 120mm rad. A 360mm rad should be enough for a i7 3820 and a 7970. Or I can find where I put that little swiftech mini res. It could fit almost anywhere.

Well wish me luck and more importantly patience. This time I will have the beer after and not before I work on this. I would like to put the res outside the case but the original idea was to keep the case looking stock on the outside. Next build I can make flashy with fans everywhere and dual 480 rads.

Reason: just 'cause

Haha no beer in the loop. The problem was the beer in me. It was very good beer. No I've redone the loop so the res is mounted under the top two fans. The ports on the rad are still higher than the res so I will be tipping the case to move the air bubbles out. Had a bit of a leak down by the pump. Faulty 90 degree fitting. Fourth one so far. Replaced that and all is good so far.
